Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of 3D printed individualised prosthesis in treating bone and joint defects in upper limbs remained after earlier microsurgical repairs.Methods:From June 2019 to September 2021, 12 patients were treated in the Institute of Orthopaedic Trauma of PLA, the 80th Group Army Hospital for bone and joint defects in upper limb that had been remained after earlier repairs with soft tissue flaps. The defects were: 1 in completely severed wrist, 2 defects of digit metacarpal bone, 4 defects of interphalangeal joint, 4 defects of bones in radiocarpal joint and 1 defect of lunate bone. The area of soft tissue defect ranged from 1.5 cm×3.0 cm to 12.0 cm×18.0 cm, and the length of bone defects ranged from 2.5 to 8.5(average 3.64) cm. For incompletely severed and completely severed limbs, replantation of severed limbs (digits) were performed in the primary surgery and the repair of soft tissue defects were performed in the second stage surgery. The remaining defects of bone and joint were reconstructed by 3D printed individualised prostheses in the third stage surgery. Finger soft tissue defects were covered with a local flap in the primary surgery, and bone and joint defects were reconstructed with a 3D printed prosthesis in the second surgery. Finger soft tissue defects were covered with a local flap in the first phase, and bone and joint defects were reconstructed with a 3D printed prosthesis in the second phase. After the surgery, the bone integration between the broken end of the bone joint defect and the prosthesis was determined based on the X-ray results and the Paley fracture healing score standard. Simultaneously measured the Total Active Motion(TAM) of the forearm and hand joints. At 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after hospital discharge. Follow-up X-ray examinations were taken followed by examinations on the recovery of soft tissues and bones. The upper limb function was graded according to the Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association.Results:Postoperative follow-up at outpatient clinic lasted for 6 to 26 months, with an average of 11.5 months. All flaps were free from necrosis and infection, also there was no infection in bones and joints. According to the Paley fracture healing scale, 10 patients were in excellent and 2 in good. In addition, according to the Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association, 5 patients achieved upper limb function in excellent, 5 in good and 2 in fair. The ranges of motion of the affected wrists were 30°-42°(average 37.3°) for the implanted prostheses of distal end of radius and the radial shaft. Wrist flexion 40° to 55°(average 43.5°). The range of motion of finger and wrist was 60° to 70°(average 65.7°) with a metacarpal and phalangeal bone prosthesis.Conclusion:3D printed individually customised prostheses are safe, accurate and effective in repair of the remained bone and joint defects in upper limbs after primary and early stages of microsurgical flap repairs. It can effectively restore anatomical structures of bone and joint in upper limbs.

Objective: To understand the detection rate, epidemic pattern of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in hospitalized children with acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRTI) in China. Methods: From June 2017 to March 2020, a prospective multi-center study on the viral aetiology among hospitalized children with ALRTI was conducted in six pediatrics hospital of North China, Northeast, Northwest, South China, Southeast, and Southwest China. A total of 2 839 hospitalized children with ALRTI were enrolled, and the respiratory specimens were collected from these cases. A multiplex real-time RT-PCR assay were employed to screen the respiratory viruses, and the molecular epidemiological and clinical characteristics of children infected with RSV were analyzed. Results: The positve rate of RSV was 18.6% (528/2 839), and the positive rate of RSV in different regions ranged from 5.5% to 44.3%. The positive rate of RSV in male was higher than that in female (20.2% vs 16.3%), and there was a significant statistically difference between two groups (χ2=6.74, P=0.009). The positive rate of RSV among children under 5 years old was higher than that among children older than 5 years old (22.3% vs 4.5%), and there was a significant statistically difference between two groups (χ2=97.98,P<0.001). The positive rate of RSV among the <6 months age group was higher than that of other age groups (all P<0.05). During January 2018 and December 2019, RSV was detected in almost all through the year, and showed peaks in winter and spring. RSV-positive cases accounted for 17.0% (46/270) among children with severe pneumonia, including 36 cases infected with RSV alone. Conclusion: RSV is an important viral pathogen in children under 5 years old with ALRTI in China. The virus can be detected almost all through the year and reached the peak in winter and spring.

Hypoxemia is a common complication of pneumonia, asthma, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in children.Rapid identification of hypoxemia is of great significance for the disposal and management of critical children.Pulse oximetry is recognized by the World Health Organization as the best way to monitor hypoxemia in children, and it can monitor pulse oxygen saturation noninvasively and continuously.Based on the related literature at home and abroad, combined with the clinical needs of pediatrics, the " Expert consensus on clinical application of pulse oximetry in children" is formulated to improve the understanding of pediatricians and nurses on the application in pediatric clinical practice, principle, operation techniques, and limitations of pulse oximetry.

Objective:To investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of pulse oximetry among pediatric healthcare providers in China and analyze the factor influencing the KAP.Methods:A self-developed questionnaire was used for an online research on the KAP of 11 849 pediatric healthcare providers from 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities of China from March 11 to 14, 2022.The factors influencing the KAP of pulse oximetry among pediatric healthcare providers were examined by Logistic regression. Results:The scores of KAP, of pulse oximetry were 5.57±0.96, 11.24±1.25 and 11.19±4.54, respectively.The corresponding scoring rates were 69.61%, 74.95%, and 55.99%, respectively. Logistic regression results showed that the gender and working years of pediatric healthcare providers, the region they were located, and whether their medical institution was equipped with pulse oximeters were the main factors affecting the knowledge score (all P<0.05). Main factors influencing the attitude score of pediatric healthcare providers included their knowledge score, gender, educational background, working years, region, medical institution level, and whether the medical institution was equipped with pulse oximeters (all P<0.05). For the practice score, the main influencing factors were the knowledge score, gender, age, and whether the medi-cal institution was equipped with pulse oximeters (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Chinese pediatric healthcare providers need to further improve their knowledge about and attitudes towards pulse oximetry.Pulse oximeters are evidently under-used.It is urgent to formulate policies or guidelines, strengthen education and training, improve knowledge and attitudes, equip more institutions with pulse oximeters, and popularize their application in medical institutions.

Abstract: Objective　To analyze the clinical characteristics and changes of serum IgG, IgM antibodies in patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant. Methods　The clinical data of 82 patients with SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.529 variant was analyzed retrospectively. Based on the presence of pneumonia on chest CT, the patients were divided into pneumonia group and non-pneumonia group. Serum IgG, IgM antibodies were observed at 5 time points T1 (1~<4 d), T2 (4~<8 d), T3 (8~<15 d), T4 (15~<22 d) and T5 (22~<30 d) after admission. Results　Among the 82 patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.529 variant strain, there were 62 cases of cough, 31 cases of fever, 33 cases of throat discomfort, 5 cases of muscle soreness and 3 cases of diarrhea. The serum IgG antibody levels at 5 time points were 50.22 (142.20) AU/mL, 326.50 (220.63) AU/mL, 368.23 (76.21) AU/mL, 368.65 (79) AU/mL, and 385.26 (113.10) AU/mL, respectively. The level of serum IgG antibody in the pneumonia group was lower than that of the non-pneumonia group at T1 and T4 time points, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) , the positive rate of serum IgG antibody in the pneumonia group was lower than that of the non-pneumonia group at the T1 time point, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) . The serum IgM antibody levels at 5 time points were 0.41 (0.81) AU/mL, 0.95 (1.62) AU/mL, 1.09 (2.42) AU/mL, 0.74 (3) AU/mL, and 0.81 (3.10) AU/mL respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion　The clinical symptoms of patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.529 variant strain are mild. Serum IgG antibodies increased after infection, but there are some differences between the pneumonia group and the non-pneumonia group, whether serum IgG has a protective effect needs further research; the serum IgM antibodies do not increase highly after infection, there are some differences between individuals.

Objective To investigate the effect of mircoRNA-128-3p (miR-128-3p) on epithelial-mesencfrymal transition (EMT) of ovarian cancer cells and its regulatory mechanism on zinc finger E-box binding homobox 1(ZEB1). Methods Real-time PCR technology was used to detect the expression of miR-128-3p in epithelial ovarian cancer tissue (EOC) and adjacent normal tissue (30 cases each), and to observe whether there was a difference. Two human ovarian cancer cell lines, SK0V3 and A2780, were selected and transfected respectively. MiR-128-3p mimic (miR-128-3p mimic group) and negative control mimic (NC mimic group) were used to detect the expression of miR-128-3p in 4 groups by Real-time PCR to verify the interference effect. Transwell assay was used. The migration and invasion abilities of the four groups of cells were observed. The regulatory relationship between miR-128-3p and ZEBl was verified by dual luciferase assay, and the expression level of ZEBl protein after overexpression of miR-128-3p was detected by Western blotting; pcDNA-ZEBl was transfected into SK0V3 and A2780 cell lines to make it overexpression of ZEBl was divided into NC mimic group, miR-128-3p mimic group, and miR-128-3p mimic+pcDNA-ZEBl group. Western blotting was used to detect the EMT-related protein E-cadherin in 6 groups of cells and the expression level of vimentin. Results Real-time PCR result showed that the expression of miR-128-3p in EOC tissues decreased compared with that in adjacent tissues (P < 0. 01); The relative expression of miR-128-3p in the miR-128-3p mimic group was higher than that in the NC mimic group, while the numbers of migrating cells and invasive cells were lower than those in the NC mimic group (P < 0 . 0 1) . The result of dual luciferase experiments showed that miR-128-3p had a negative regulatory effect on ZEBl. In SK0V3 and A2780 cells, the relative expression of ZEBl protein in the miR-128-3p mimic group was lower than that in the NC mimic group, while the relative protein expression of E-cadhein was higher than that in the NC mimic group (P < 0 . 0 1) . The relative protein expression of E-cadhein in the miR-128-3p mimic+pcDNA-ZEBl group was lower than that in the miR-128-3p mimic group (P < 0 . 0 1) . In SKOV3 and A2780 cells, the relative protein expression of vimentin in the miR-128-3p mimic group was lower than that in the NC mimic group, and the relative protein expression of vimentin in the miR-128-3p mimic+pcDNA-ZEBl group was higher than that in the miR-128-3p mimic group (P < 0 . 0 1) . Conclusion The expression of miR-128-3p decreases in epithelial ovarian cancer tissues, which ma)' be due to the regulation of ZEBl to affect the expression of EMT-related proteins and participate in the EMT process of ovarian cancer cells.

OBJECTIVE: To compare clinical efficacy of long Gamma 3 nail and proximal femur locking plate (PFLP) in treating femoral subtrochanteric fractures. METHODS: From January 2010 to January 2017, clinical data of 58 patients with subtrochanteric fractures followed more than 12 months were retrospective analyzed. Among them, 35 patients were treated with long Gamma 3 nail including 18 males and 17 females aged from 25 to 78 years old with an average of(66.5±23.5) years old;Causes of injury included fall on the ground in 18 cases, traffic accidents in 7 cases, and fall from height in 10 cases. The other 23 patients were treated with PFLP fixation including 8 males and 15 females aged from 31 to 81 years old with an average of (63.4±22.4) years old;Causes of injury included fall on the ground in 12 cases, traffic accidents in 6 cases, and fall from height in 5 cases. Operative time, blood loss (intraoperative and hidden blood loss), hospital stays, bone healing and complications were observed and compared. Harris hip score after 1-year following-up was used to evaluate postoperative clinical effect. RESULTS: Fifty-one patients were followed up from 14 to 36 months with an average of 24.8 months, including 31 patients were treated with long Gamma 3 and 20 patients were treated with PFLP. Blood loss(intraoperative and hidden blood loss) in PFLP group was less than that of long Gamma 3 nail group(<0.05). There was no significant in operative time, hospital stays and complications between two groups(>0.05). There was no significant differences in healing time of fractures between long Gamma 3 nail group (17.2±2.4) weeks and PFLP group (18.1±2.6) weeks(<0.05). At 1-year following-up, there was no significant differences in Harris hip score between long Gamma 3 nail group(80.29±10.28) and PFLP group (76.49±12.28)(<0.05). No complications such as pulmonary embolism and nonunion occurred. Two patients were treated with fitler whose occurred deep vein thrombosis. Postoperative pulmonary infection curred in 4 cases and was cured by anti-infection therapy. CONCLUSIONS Both of long Gamma 3 nail and PFLP in treating patients with femoral subtrochanteric fractures can receive good clinical effects, long Gamma 3 nail is not suitable for the patients of the narrow medullary cavity and prominent anterior arch. PFLP is eccentric fixation, so early weight-bearing was not stress.
